when saturday night becomes sunday morning

saturday night stumbled in the room
like we had invited it to dinner
and before we knew what to do
it took us by the hand and led us down the block
to find out where we'd spend the night

every girl in the room had motives on their minds
and every boy tried his hardest to figure out what they were
so they collided effortlessly
in tune with the music playing as a soundtrack to whatever nights like these bring
she stepped in the door and found a hand to hold
the room spun as drinks were flung in her direction
and cigarettes danced on her lips
the walls whipsered "enjoy it while you can"

in terms of love, it's not what she was looking for
and she worked her way from room to room
with the promise of something more coming from the night
she kept her soul wide open for the first person who chose to take it
and he told her he'd come back
while she turned her back on any morals she had ever claimed
and found solace at the sides of strangers
they worked her arms around her waist and led her through the crowd
the fed her compliments through their teeth
and she believed every word

and so it goes
the night took its toll
and what began as effortless soon became violent
as he held them back he watched her with pleading eyes
she ran out the door only to find her way back
"I guess I'm staying here"
were the only words she exhaled
as he led her to the back
she closed the doors
turned out the lights

and the final collision
peaked at a crescendo
as they swam through the sheets
she held her breath and as he held her close
and they both held on for dear life
as questions stabbed at ther spinal column
she ripped out every emotion and left them on his beside table
knowing she was only adding to an already over flowing pile
the night wore on

morning came with the sun
as her head ached with a sudden realization of
only hours before
he rolled over and stroked her hair
and she watched the walls steady themselves
as she tried to put the pieces together

the walk home was a long one
with so much on the mind
but she found her door, her bed, her pillow
and unsuccessfully shut her eyes

she got what she wanted
but now where does she go?
